The opposition Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan has lamented in the Sindh Assembly that the provincial government does not have financial resources to rebuild the infrastructure of urban areas after the devastation caused by last year’s heavy monsoon rains.
Taking part in the pre-budget discussion in the house on Thursday, parliamentary party leader of the MQM in the Sindh Assembly, Kanwar Naveed Jameel, said that the Sindh government did not have any interest to resolve the problems of the people of Karachi.
He said the Sindh government’s only interest was that whosever visited Karachi from abroad should see fancy signboards and traffic signals on main roads of the city. The MQM-P legislator said the people duly paid service charges to the Karachi Water & Sewerage Board, but even then they did not get the tap water. He said the affected residents had to purchase water from the tanker service for their household needs.
